Adventures at Anna's

I'm spending the weekend with one of my favourite friends and doing what I love best, eating, drinking, gluing and sticking. I arrived last night and have been having a blast ever since. This morning I made a card for breast cancer, I challenged myself to use no patterned paper, I'm not sure why I thought that would be fun, but hey! The card was also inspired by challenges at:

Then we popped out for a bit, lunch at Ruskin Mill, which is always yummy and wholesome. Today it was broccoli and cheese pancakes.

After some retail therapy and a quick visit to see Nick, Anna's boyfriend we made it home just in time to set up our downstairs crafting space before we settled in for a night of Strictly Come Dancing, X-factor and Pierce Morgan. I think this a my perfect craft space with an obligatory glass of Prosecco!

Our challenge tonight was to make cards for the Hucklow Christmas fayre. As well as being a great place for our scrapbooking weekends they also do some great work up there - Send a Child to Hucklow, so we thought we'd like to support them. We found some very (and I mean very) old Create & Craft kits and just put them together. It's quite satisfying to make over 80 cards between the of us. Here's one set:

Great monotone, or we should of course have said monochrome, card, thank you for joining us at CRAFT Challenge this week and good luck! Don't forget to check back with us again on Thursday for our new challenge and to check if you have won.
